GASK GALLERY

The Gallery of the Central Bohemian Region (GASK) has changed its name and location several times during its existence. Founded in 1963 as the regional gallery of the Central Bohemian Region, it was part of Czechoslovakia’s wide-ranging network of state-run galleries. It was officially established at the Central Bohemian Gallery a year later, when it was split off from Regional Centre for Monument Preservation.

In May 2010, GASK opened its doors and began its exhibition activities in Kutná Hora. In 2013, renovation was completed on the final part of the Jesuit College, the northern wing, followed by the surrounding gardens. With the addition of visual playrooms, the impressive spaces of the Baroque pharmacy, the conference room and other exhibitions spaces, the gallery is now a unique cultural environment that is open to the broad public.

GASK is located in the former Jesuit College, one of the main architectural landmarks of Kutná Hora, a town inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
